OBITUARY. 
From bis kindness of disposition and gentlemanly bearing be was 
generally respected; and having a tborougb knowledge of bis sub¬ 
ject, and tbe bappy gift of imparting that knowledge to others, he 
was a great favorite with the students, who, to show their high 
appreciation of him, insisted upon bearing bis coffin, shoulder high, 
in front of tbe hearse, from his house to his last resting place, 
Newington Cemetery. 
Headaches and indifferent health lessened his activity, and pre¬ 
vented his doing so much professional work as he might otherwise 
have undertaken. 
On the occasion of the rinderpest breaking out in Scotland he 
was appointed Commissioner for Edinburgh, when he discharged the 
duties devolving upon him to the satisfaction of all parties. 
He took a considerable amount of trouble in making post-mortem 
examinations of infected cattle. The result of these were published, 
but without acknowledgment at the time, in Dr. Smart’s book on 
the cattle plague. 
His contributions to veterinary science, although not numerous, 
always commanded respect among the faculty. They also gained 
for him the honorary degree of LL.D. 
The latest discovery made by him was the existence of a small 
supplementary muscle in the eye of the ass. His paper on the 
subject was published in the ‘ Journal of Anatomy,’ edited by Pro¬ 
fessor Turner. 
He had for some time been preparing for publication a ‘ Text- 
Book of Veterinary Anatomy,’ and it is believed the manuscript is 
almost complete. 
In addition to the death of Professor Strangeways we have to 
record the death of Mr. G. T. Baldwin, M.R.C.V.S., Fakenham, 
Norfolk, who died January 26th, in the fifty-second year of his age. 
His diploma bears date June 29th, 1835. 
Also of Mr. Joseph Coates, M.R.C.Y.S., Stoke Newington, in the 
twenty-seventh year of his age. His diploma bears date April 
27th, 1865.
